You might want to revise the WWII number to include approximately 1000 Yiddish journalists.

President Trump made a grave error on several levels by taking over MPD and deploying the DC National Guard without DC's agreement.   He violated the principle of consent of the governed, on which America was founded, and he unintentionally made the strongest possible case for

Pulling agents working drug cases and other high crimes to guard Lululemon and Sephora is not best use of tax dollars.

If I was ranking the American neighborhoods whose degree of violent crime requires a full military presence .... the Lincoln Memorial on a sunny afternoon would not make my top 1,000. It's all a show.

This is like ten guys taking down a sign, no criminals in sight.

The worst of the worst? Please! You were patrolling Mount Pleasant and Georgetown!! What were you looking for, mislabeled discounts at Lululemon? Misplaced twinkle lights or tiny little libraries to shut down?
